Don't be that impressed! We were a bit lucky and anyone can play like this easily. It worked this game and we could've happily played with pretty much any giant as the carry here because our opponent has very little chaff. So long as you balance your force with chaff, chaff clearing front line units, anti-air and pick a carry unit you like you're solid. Bonus points if a unit can do two of those roles well!

Haha, sometimes we have to let the crazy out :D

Irbinstead of getting 2 200 units turn one, you can use mass recruitment for 3 level 1 units for more boars presence with 50 left over, making it much more likely you can deploy 2 200 units unless I desperately need a 100 cost option from the random options.

Yep - all perfectly reasonable ways to play Quick Supply! I was just feeling frisky and wanted to test a theory and then decided to try and win later down the road :D

Thanks! Yeah, think this is probably up there with my worst ever starts to a game! Was such a relief to get back into it when we did.

Was a fun moment when we finally got Range on the Mustangs and could actually protect them but ouch was that start rough! Felt pretty hard countered as soon as we saw the first Arclights right in front of where out Mustangs were going to push towards. Health is definitely a resource, but I'd much rather have a slight cushion so losing one round isn't game ending :D

Haha, it could have gone very differently looking back suspect if he had taken Storm on Round 5 the game would've ended there and then! We got very lucky!

Thanks dude! Everyone's so supportive it's honestly my pleasure. I'd give Mustangs +5 Range by default so they don't yeet themselves into the middle of the tank line. Right now they're pretty dumb.

@@Drone_101i’d also give an upgrade for AP shots. Reduce damage output but ignore X% of armor

@@sensha5470 Think it's okay to have hard counter Techs in the game, though their existence can create balance issues. E.g. Overlords being hard countered by MM with Antiair, so they're allowed insane stats and techs. Often careful use of EMP is the correct solution to a counter Tech. Would much rather keep our units at just a single Tech so we're not paying the 200 gold premium for a second Tech unless it's our Carry unit for that game.

@@Drone_101 I was picturing the extra range becoming a default part of their kit, while it would be sorta like the marksman upgrade where it slightly changes the unit's role, decreasing raw dps in exchange for being better vs armored targets.

@@sensha5470 Oh for sure. Mustang base range should be 100 not 95. Them running into the Tank line without a Range Tech is very frustrating!

To quote a famous gladiator... "Are you not entertained?!"

Yeah, we needed the money to fuel our Fortress carry plan. Level 9 Fangs are fun but still die to a light breeze with only 1050 hp each. And then if we don't win that round we're facing enemies with infinite levels!

I'm so sorry! This might not exactly showcase them in the most positive light. If only our opponent had bought some Fangs or Wasps! So rude that he didn't.

otherwise pretty fun game! I liked the unusualness of it and you joked and laughed a lot too, made my mood better :)

@@alexckefob2117 Sure - you make great points! This was recorded before the last two balance patches so Overlord was still massively out of line in terms of damage output. Here it'd be reasonable to throw down some half tanky front line units like two sets of Sledgehammers and just drop the Overlord a little behind it and let it dps race everything on the board. It wouldn't win this turn but it would win the later turns, even if countered by the Snipers, given adequate protection. The Forts are a simpler one-unit solution which I'm glad we played but Overlord was still the standout strongest unit in the game at the time this was played so a lot of matches revolved around who could, and how they cpi;d, execute the Overlord pivot in mid to late game. Thankfully they're less overbearing now!

Thanks! We got a bit lucky there.

Fair point, even said it myself in the post match review! Good tip on the better positioning for carry Arclights, thanks!

Haha, you got me! Total hypocrite. Still think they're weak though.

Also the armor tech shuts them down pretty good too. I guess they have a utility for shooting down missiles, but thats a tech on them not given. You still seem to like to put damage buff items on them. That seems to help right?

@@AngryhammerGames Yeah damage items are pretty good on them because they wont waste any of it as overkill and they need all the help they can get. They used to be an excellent Charged Ammo carrying unit to spread EMP far and wide but that got removed. Damage items are a way to try and outscale Armor but it's not always viable and you often end up overcommitting to a relatively weak unit.

Think there are certainly weaker units than others relatively speaking. All units have roles to play but some can fill more roles than others, more easily and more safely.
